I am in support of funding the park on 55th ave and Samantha Way. This has been passed over for more than a decade and growing families in the community would benefit greatly from an area of common community to share time together. Please follow through on this project and build a park our communities families, friends, and children can finally enjoy.
I am against the 75 new civilian positions for Phoenix police. PPD says it’s necessary to increase transparency, but every attempt by police to increase transparency and training have failed. We need access to public records from police, but continuing to add more people to a rotten system isn’t going to fix anything. Police records need to be handled by the City Clerk’s office.
No 75 new civilian positions for PPD. Covid relief for the people, not police. Move $10 million from the PPD “crime suppression squad”. Move $15 million from PD to pay for a new crisis response program that keeps people safe from PPD.
We demand funding for:
Free transportation and bus only lanes
Rehabilitation services & center in West Phoenix
Low barrier shelter and affordable housing
Reparations
Green New Deal
Reject this budget until the process for MOU negotiations become fully public.
The city of Phoenix should invest in NOCAP – please fund crisis assistance programs that bring the appropriate attention to those struggling with mental health. I believe this would alleviate the police workload while simultaneously decreasing unnecessary aggression and violence – noncriminal/nonviolent cases require behavioral experts.
While I support the inclusions for Arts & Culture, Equity & Inclusion, and Heat Response & Mitigation, I cannot in good faith support a budget that increases funds for an outmoded, bloated, inefficient and abusive policing system—with a disgraceful monopoly on our tax dollars. Our communities are better served through a thoughtful multiplicity of targeted services, like crisis responses uncoupled from the criminal system (NOCAP), funded through a continuing $20m offset from the police budget.
The budget for the PPD is ridiculous, and is better off put directly back into the community in the forms of improved public transportation, rehabilitation services, and public housing. Move $10 million from the PPD’s “crime suppression squad” and put it toward real community needs instead. Move an additional $15 million from police to pay for new crisis response program. One that ACTUALLY serves this community.
Lastly, reject this budget until the process for MOU negotiations is fully public.
For 40 years we have worked to get a citizens oversight commission to police the police. Still we are told we need more community input, it's not needed, they can police themselves, no one understands - enough already. We are the only large city without a citizens commission. It's obvious they cannot police themselves. No raise for police, make them pay for all lawsuits out of their own pension fund, make every officer carry malpractice insurance. We are done.
Phoenix needs to be a leading-edge city and move at least $10 million to a crisis response team and scale back the scope of police work in the city. It is the only way forward.
NO MORE MONEY TO PHOENIX POLICE!
No to 75 new civilian positions for Phoenix police
Move $10 million from the phx police “crime suppression squad”
COVID relief for the people, not police
$15 million from police to pay for new crisis response program
Our communities demand funding for:
Free transportation
Rehabilitation services and a center in West Phoenix
Low barrier shelter/ housing support
I reject this budget until the process for MOU negotiations becomes fully public
PPD budget is, as always, unjustifiably large. NO 75 new civilian positions for PPD. Move $10 million from the PD “crime suppression squad”. Move $15 million from PD to adequately pay for a new crisis response program that keeps people safe from PD.
We demand funding for:
Rehabilitation services & center in West Phoenix
Low barrier shelter/housing support
Reparations
Green New Deal
REJECT this budget til the process for MOU negotiations become fully public.
Stop investing tax money into police. We need to invest in free transportation for youth, parents, rehab, and housing/shelter support. We need to relocate money to places that will actually have a positive impact in our communities.
I want the City of Phoenix to fund the Neighborhood Organized Crisis Assistance Program to establish an official first responder department separate from the police department for noncriminal and nonviolent dispatches.
Please support a crisis assistance program that meets the NOCAP demands.
Stop Phoenix Police from killing and assaulting unarmed people over minor situations, police escalation and comply or die like Officer Jason Gillespie almost killing me over calling the police for help.
I support the Offices of Arts and Culture, Equity and Inclusion, and Heat Response and Mitigation. They will attract business and make Phoenix a more vibrant, welcoming, safe community. I fully support the Shade and Tree Master Plan and the Cool Corridors Program. 2,000 people died from heat exposure in Arizona from 2009-2019. Over 200 people died last year from heat exposure - twice that of previous years. This is an economic issue for Phoenix, and a life and death issue for residents.
Please support a crisis assistance program that meets the NOCAP demands. Money should not go to more policing but intervention by those who are most affected by the pandemic. We need more mental health intervention, housing and Healthcare assistance and support for education.
Community must have a direct say in the $400 million in covid relief money coming to phx. This money needs to fund the people and resources that have been hit hardest by the pandemic. Using covid funds for police bonuses or to grow the police budget harms our collective recovery by denying resources to those most impacted. This money needs to be used for things like housing assistance, public transportation, healthcare, vaccine distribution, income support, and childcare assistance.
I support a fully funded independent accountable nonviolent first responder program. Its goal is to support people in times of crisis without the use of the criminal legal system. The program will respond to calls that currently go to the Phoenix Police Department. It makes sense that the money come from the PPD budget. I support the Neighborhood-Organized Crisis Assistance Program (NOCAP) coalition!
